This is one of my favorite places to eat. I love seeing the characters in their safari outfits. It is also a good place for me, a picky eater, to try some yummy food without having to commit to a whole meal. All of the food I have tried here was good.
Pros:
good food. good chance for picky eaters to try new foodsCons:
big place, characters could take a while to get to your table.Reviewed by tetimko5 Review Date: 02/13/2021

My favorite place for sit down lunch in the Animal Kingdom. I would definitely suggest this restaurant if you don't want to wait in lines to meet characters because here they will come to you! They have a good list for drinks and lots of options for both picky eaters and those that want to try new things! They also have a good selection for kiddos too. This is a great use of a dining credit if you are on the dining plan, otherwise, it is a bit pricey! Well worth it though if you love the characters!
Pros:
great way to meet characters, lots of tasty optionsCons:
can be very busy, hard to get ADR, and expensive!Reviewed by AllyMom914 Review Date: 11/18/2020

One of the best Character Dining experiences and some of the best food. The kids get up and dance with the Characters and all still come around to all the tables. We came at a late lunch not quite dinner time. We got each Character at least twice. Some of the best buffet style food you're gonna get. And a great variety of options.
Pros:
Great Character interactionsCons:
If you aren't adventurous with your food this may not be for you. Still was great food but not your chicken tenders and fries kinda place.Reviewed by Lyndsay Review Date: 11/02/2020

This is a must do for me. They have a wide variety of foods. Healthy to different to comfort, EVERYTHING. I enjoyed trying some African flavors, but also was comforted knowing I could fall back on some mac and cheese. The characters had the cutest outfits on and they came around more than once! I will go back here and recommend to anyone.

This place never fails to disappoint - although those who are less interested in slightly exotic food on the buffet should probably just book elsewhere. Each of us has favorites here, from the coconut-curry shrimp to the salmon to the assortment of stews. Dessert is not the best on property, but who cares - that's a minor thing in a World where you can get a sugar fix on literally every corner. Servers here have always been great too. Now, if we could just figure out how to not end up being seated in the same out-of-the-way room every. single. trip.
Pros:
Good variety of interesting food on the buffet. Service has always been efficient and very helpful/friendly. Characters are quite good - especially Goofy and Donald.Cons:
Might not appeal to some palates. Can be crowded at peak times. Seating can be inconvenient depending on which area/room they put you in.Reviewed by ElizabethMarie Review Date: 04/25/2020

The food is great and something a little different from what I normally think of as typical theme park food. I'm not even a very adventurous eater and I avoid pretty much anything spicy, but I had an easy time finding lots of things I liked here. The flavors were great and there were plenty of options. I also love the Safari characters, we typically go to Disney at non peak times, but we've had good luck with seeing all the characters in a pretty short amount of time here.
Pros:
Safari characters, great roasted meats, great atmosphere, standard options for kidsCons:
Not a great place for adults that don't like African flavorsReviewed by Shularc Review Date: 04/24/2020

Best Character meal. Amazing food, and great Interactions. Go between lunch and dinner for the opportunity to see the characters multiple times.
Pros:
Great Food, and Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Daisy.Cons:

The fact that it’s a character dining makes it awesome on its own but the food and the variety is amazing!
